What in the **** Is going ON!!!!!! lol

 

Wouldn't be surprised if we checked in and then he let's someone know he was contacted on his interest.

I don't care what Goodman and Doyel are saying, I don't believe for one second we've reached out to Holtmann.  The only current B1G name we might reach to would be Fife and I don't even believe that's happening.   Click bait from both of them.

Why the F were we checking in with him? That is the question. Especially at this point.

I hope these guys are getting fed bad info. 

Me too, but I’m starting to have my doubts at this point... We’ve had a lot of information leak out, and it’s all been bad.. It could be the case that everything has been bad info, but after a while I start to question that belief. There’s a lot of smoke.

i dont buy it

Regardless of the merits, as a current in-conference P5 coach, Holtmann would be a 180-degree departure from our search thus far. I guess Matta could be the throughline if the interest in him was legit.

[Indiana8585 129]

I think Holtmann’s people are probably feeding this to get the heat off that 15-2 upset. 

[Alford Bailey 12,901]

IF the we just threw money at Stevens with no backup strategy then prepare yourselves. Dolson will hire Alford.

This fan base is so bi polar where you are up one minute and down the next just because of one tweet by someone who might or might not know anything

[lillurk 4,661]

Holtmann’s good! Doubt he’s leaving, though.

Holtmann probably trying to get a contract extension and a pay raise. 

[Unexpectedflash 1,393]

I wish we'd let Dolson actually hire someone before calling him clueless and freaking out. Rumors are just that. UCLA's search took 100 days, they were laughed at during the entire way, and they ended up getting a good coach and are in the Sweet 16 two years later. We have no idea what Dolson's going to be like when it comes to hiring people so everyone should just be patient as hard as that may be. 

[Trish 13,535]

I leave for a few hours and we struck out on Chris Holtman?
 

Again?
 

My keeping Archie for two more games argument grows stronger and stronger each hour. 
 

;)

[woodenshoemanHoosierfan 6,575]

I am getting the feeling that it will be a complete grand slam or an absolute strike out.  Little chance of anything in between. 

The problem is for most, anything less than who they consider a HR is a strikeout

People are just stupid but it's the flavor of the decade. Beilein would be a good hire. Just not sure we can afford the name brand walkers and velcro shoes.

To be fair the two leading candidates for leader of the free world were 74 and 78. I have a hard time believing that 68 is too old to start something new. The ageism on here makes no sense. Now if you want to argue the semantics of his 'thugs' comment, that is a valid reason to forgo an offer. Of all the people mentioned for this job, I could make a pretty strong argument that Belien is far and away the best actual Coach on the list, and it really isn't that close from a resume standpoint. Not that I want him, just making a counterpoint. Would 6-10 really good years of Belien really not be intriguing to you because it couldn't parlay into 20 or 30 years because of his age? I am looking for someone who could coach up, recruit good players and win games, and restore the shine to this job. I believe that is the most important thing for the next hire. It does not necessarily need to be a IU lifer, but it needs to be someone who can win, and make this place desirable again. We can as fans, rose color the job all we want, but the reality, is there have been six (counting DD) consecutive coaches fired. Not moved on, not retired, not lost to the NBA, fired. If I am a high major coach on the come up, I am thinking long and hard before I consider a career move that history says will end in me being fired. That is why a hire like Matta or Belien made/makes sense.

Katz just did on Gottlieb show that he thinks Texas is a better job than IU.  Haha come on bro
